GEORGIA AT THE CENTENNIAL.
Few In Numbers, but They Made an
Excellent Display.
From the Philadelphia Times. Sept. Il.

From the Philadelphia Times, Sept. IL.
On Washington avenue, east of Broad
street, Gov. John B. Gordon, of Georgia,
and his staff, sat on their horses from 10
o'clock until 1870, when they filed into their
position in the parade. To the rear, on the
south side of the street, the Southern States
contribution to the military pageant was
represented by thirtytwo privates of the
Atlanta Rifles under command of Capt A
G. Sneed. They were all young men of
more than ordinary muscular development,
and as they stood at ease until the command
"Forward-marchn was given they looked
the very beau-ideal of Southern chivalry
Their uniform was brown. full dress coat,
blue pants and a snow-white shake, which
glistened in the midday sun and rendered
more snowy and attractive their large gold
epaulettes and heavily gold-braided coats.
The Governors staff were nearly all old
soldiers who had served in the Soathern
army from the outbreak of the waE until
the surrender of Richmond. They con-
sisted of Col. Charles H. Olmstead, Lieut..
Coils. Wilberforce Daniel, w. H. Sheppard,
E. j. Murphy, Edward E. Young, E. b.
Smith, G. n. Harper, George H. Warning,
Seaton Grantland, F. j. NJ. Daily, and
Carts. Falligant and Frank Hardeman.
Lieut. Col. w. II. Ross was also on Gov.
Gordon's staff, but had been detailed to
serve on the staff of Gen. Sheridan.
Shortly after the head of the parade had
been put in motion, an incident happened
which provoked a good deal of laughter
and some cheers. The band of the Fifth
Regiment of the National Guards of Penn
sylvania, when passing Ellsworth street,
gave forth the lively strains of ''Shermans
March" entirely unconscious of the fact
that the contingent from the historic
ground, between ATLANTA and the SEA, "
were within few yards of them

| HALIFAX, Sept. ia special dispatch

O'Clock. A luminous body, looking as large
as an elephant with a long tail attached
suddenly appeared in the southeastern sky
and shot out OF sight in a sOutherly direc-
The night was elauciess ami without
d moon, but the stars went out and strange
soft blue and white light lit up the whole
armament as bright as day. The light was
only five or six seconds in duration, when all
became suddenly dark again. To a person
at the south end it appeared like fearful
explosion IN the vicinity Of the northeast
arm, in which direction the light was
brightest, tut the noise supposed to accom-
pany most explosions was absent
"A reporter was crossing North End Com
mon, when be was startled by a sudden
burst OF fire lighting up the whole neigh

out of the misty air. Ii looked like large
electric light. and long tail of sparks
trailed behind. The whole presented beau
tiful spectacle To the reporter the fiery
visitor seemed to strike the ground a short
distance away. Afterwarda low, whirring
sound was heard in the direction where il
had disappeared. The sound kept increas-
ing in volume, till the roar was terrible. It
seemed as if the bed of the ocean was
huge pot and the water was boiling over.
Some people fancied they felt slight tregn-
or OF the earth, but most persons felt
nothing of the kind The noise. which
was terrifying, lasted fully minute and
halt"
What was doubtless the same meteor was
seen in Halifax last night, but the time was
8 o'clock Its fall was accompanied by
most vivid illumination of the whole city
There was a sudden and almost dazzling
flash, lasting for a couple of moments, then
all was over. At harrington darkness pre-
vented the prosecution of any search, as the
appearance was not followed by any other
unusual phenomena.
The meteor was also seen at Lockeport,
Shelburne. Yarmouth, Amherst and other
towns in different parts of the province. A
Bridgewater dispatch says that when first
seen there it appeared to be a large falling
star, but before it reached the earth it burst
into small stars of exceeding brilliancy,
which illuminated the heavens in a truly
grand style. A kissing sort of noise was
plainly heard there during the meteor's fail.
A Lockeport dispatch says the meteor was
followed few minutes after its disappear
ance by sound resembling that of distant
thunder

Can n Husband Open His wtfe's
Letters?


The Partisan advocates discussed the
delicate question "Has a husband a
right to open his wife's letters ?" at
their last conference, and they decided
that he has. A journalist who has con-
suited several extra-legal luminaries on
the point finds them, with single ex-
ception, in substantial agreement with
the lawyers. An enlightened priest,
whose name is not given, answered that
the doctrine of the Church was that the
husband is master in the house, and
that he had therefore perfect right to
OPEN his wife's letters.
NJ. de pressens., the leading Pro-
testant pastor in Paris, was somewhat
less affirmative, though, as regards
wives who had anything to fear from
the exercise of the right, he supported
the decision of the bsrristers, while in
the case of q good wife he could not
see how it mattered either way. Alex
andre Dumas, looking at the question
from the historico- philosophical stand
point, contended that what we know OF
the relations of Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden clearly establishes the
right of The husband to inspect his
wife's corrt sAndence.
Nine. Peyrebune's answer was also
in the affirmative, though she added
that the question was of no practical
importance, as compromising letters
are never sent through the post. Nine.
Adam was the only dissentient. In her
opinion, the husband who opened his
wife's letters was nothing more nor less
than q backward.

A Change OF Wind which Nearly
brought Him Disaster.

A Providence special says: Captain
Paul Boyton, the swimmer, arrived in
this city at o'clock this afternoon ON
the steamer William NJ. Lawrence, of
the Norfolk and Baltimore Line. He
left New York last Wednesday upon a
schooner bound south. Early on Sat
urday morning he got overheard, when
about opposite Cape May and Cape
Henlopen, expecting to have a fair
wind to make the jersey coast IN his
suit. The sea was smooth on
Saturday morning, and Captain Boy
ton had every prospect of making
the land, but the sea rose and the
wind came off from the westward and
prevented him from gaining any head
way. To add to this his compass
worked badly, and he says he had be-
gun TO get discouraged. He sighted
several vessels and burned his signal
lights, but could not attract their atten-
ton until he succeeded with the Law
renee, at about 4 o'clock, by waving an
ensign with the union down on his pad-
die. He was taken aboard and brought
to this city. Captain Boyton speaks in
the highest terms of his treatment by
the officers of the steamer. He left for
Boston this afternoon, but will return
to New York tonight. His object in
taking this cruise was to prepare for
his trip down the Hudson in the ice
next week.

Railways Murder Mystery.
Inv telegram 70 the Diapatch.l

RxHwAY, n. j., March 29.-There is
10 clue whatever to the murderer of the
Girl found dead on Friday night last.
The body is rapidly decomposing. I'm
dertaker Ryn by order of the county
physician, used large quantity of en-
baiming fluid last night. Owing to the
condition of the body it is not shown
except on the order of the chief of po-
lice or the coroner. The two women
who saw the men with two women on
the Crawford road Wednesday and
Thursday were unable to identify
the clothing of the murdered girl. Mrs
McGaey, of New York, who was here
on Sunday, will return to-day. She was
looking for her sister, Maggie Dooner,
who answers to the description of the
murdered girl. Miss Dooner has been
missing since November. She formerly
worked in Stearns's satisfactory in New
York. When last heard of she was in
Yonkers. Mrs. McGaey visited Yonkers
yesterday, but could find no trace OF
her sister. The report circulated that
tramp with blood-stained clothing had
been arrested at Elizabeth on suspicion
of being the murderer has proven to be
false.
